# import_brand_asset

> Copy an image from a public https URL onto forms.ax hosting (EU storage, served from the workspace's own form domain) and get back a stable URL. Use BEFORE setting a logo, background image, or image block when the user's image lives on their website or another host — imported assets never break from hotlink changes, never cause mixed-content warnings, and let no third party track respondents. Then use the returned url in set_brand_kit (logo_url), update_form branding.theme.backgroundImageUrl, or a set_layout image block. Accepts JPEG/PNG/WebP/GIF/SVG up to 5 MB; counts toward the workspace storage quota.

Imported images are served from your own form domain with EU storage — no hotlink rot, no mixed-content warnings, and no third party sees your respondents. Accepts JPEG/PNG/WebP/GIF/SVG up to 5 MB, counted toward your [storage quota](/help/limits). Use the returned URL in your [brand kit, theme or image blocks](/help/building/customize).
